Maybe it’s just me, but do I associate horsehair with fashion accessory? Neigh!
But that’s exactly what San Francisco artist Elizabeth Prost did, and did very well. She turned horsehair (humanely) into a fabulous necklace with just a little bit of leather and silver hardware: Link – via Teenangster
I want this foxy necklace and Firefox isn’t even my web browser! This video by Craft Magazine shows how to make your very own foxbling from a template designed by Tobias Leingruber. All you need are some basic jewelry making tools and (I suspect) a whole lot of manual dexterity.

Laura Cesari made a set of beaded necklaces that are patterned after the orbits of our solar system. Each one shows either the entire solar system or a planet and the orbits of its moons in proportionate distances:
Years ago, I discovered a particularly nice piece of agate in a friend’s bead shop that reminded me of Jupiter, and created a “Jupiter necklace” with other beads orbiting around it like moons. In the Solar System design, I decided to “zoom out” and focus on using small beads to measure the proportional distances between the planets. It took some calculations, a few abstractions, and a couple of prototypes: the first version was 75 inches long, made with 7-millimeter tubular glass bugle beads, each bead representing about 20 million miles. This Solar System Necklace design seemed like a good way to translate the mind-boggling distances of space into something tangible, something that people can measure physically with familiar objects.

I just discovered Anabella Designs on Etsy. Gorgeous stuff – this is a hand-pierced, sterling silver pendant. It’s even cut and filed by hand. I haven’t bought the sterling silver ones, but I did buy a couple of the enamel on copper pendants for Christmas gifts and am really excited to see them in person. I’m even more impressed because when I think about trying to do this on my own, I envision some major puncture wounds and a trip to the emergency room.
